New El Stop: Broad and Pattison?

[ice grillin you]

If a free agent WR isn't any better than Lewis/Pinky, etc. then what's the point?

lewis is fortunate to be in the league and pinky is one sprint drill away from retirement....ARE is arguably the number one free agent wr in the entire league...what are you talking about?

Greg Lewis >>> ALE

U totalle had me goinz!1!

you don't think that ARE is better than Greg Lewis?

Obviously, I do.  What I meant was if a superior WR can be gotten elsewhere (say the draft, for instance) then why piss millions away on a player who would only be a modest upgrade, especially considering the holes that need to be filled elsewhere?

IMO, there are more pressing concerns than WR on the Eagles and unless they can get a WR in there at a reasonable price, then acquiring one via the draft or waiting for someone to be released as a cap casualty might be a better option.

Besides, I think Randle El is going to Chicago anyway, so this entire discussion is pointless.

as a WR, they i think they are about equal...however randel el brings PR skill as well...which gives him an edge.

randel el is not a starting WR, never has been, other than maybe 4 or 5 games this season, then he was beaten out of a job by cedric wilson.

a superior anything is going to cost money...including first round draft picks

im not even saying randel el is the answer to all the ills...i can even go with someone thinking hes gonna flop and not wanting him...but if you think hes very good to great and will really help the team out then you go for him...regardless of the money


i cant take all the eagle fans who think hes good but he wants a little too much money or hed be a great addition but if he wants anything close to wayne money then forget it

[SunMo]

that's absurd.  Randal El can catch a ball and is a threat to go the distance everytime, Greg Lewis isn't any threat, anytime

wow are you for real?

i can see an argument for a healthy pinky...but greg lewis???...hes brutal

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Hey Wingspan... PASS THAT SH!T!

He's not worth Wayne-type money.  He's never produced at that level to warrant that kind of financial outlay, IGY.  That's why people are resistant to having the Eagles fork it over to him.

Greg Lewis isn't any threat, anytime

Except in the Super Bowl.

Questions: 

Is Randle El a legitimate #1 receiver in the NFL?

Does he have the ability to be a legitimate #1 receiver in the NFL?


If the answer to both questions is "no" then you don't pay him like one.  That's precisely what he's going to get from a team.  My question is, does he deserve it based on past performance * or forseeable potential *?

It was a joke, Sally.  Don't get your skivvies in an uproar.

My skivvies may be in an uproar, but it's got nothing to do with your imperceptible sense of humor.
